Growing government initiatives and policies aimed at promoting telehealth adoption have also contributed to the market growth. In May 2023, The Uttarakhand government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IT firm Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE).

The rising incidence of obesity is expected to increase the prevalence of other chronic diseases. For instance, according to the World Atlas 2023 report, the prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents in the Americas is expected to increase from 2020 to 2035. Furthermore, obesity is also expected to increase among men and women during the same 15-year period, with almost half of all adults (47% to 49%) predicted to be affected by obesity by 2035. In addition, as per the Johns Hopkins University study, the risk of heart failure increased by 32% in the study for every five-point increase in body mass index (BMI). The increasing focus on preventive care is escalating the demand for telehealth kiosks.
The growing elderly population across the globe is further boosting the demand for telehealth kiosks.

Furthermore, the integration of telehealth kiosks into existing healthcare ecosystems presents opportunities for collaboration and data sharing among healthcare providers, thereby fostering market growth.
The major players operating in the market are adopting strategies such as collaborations, supply agreements, and partnerships with a major focus on enhancing the product formation and reach.
